Maitild Joisil

An angelic baby girl was born on October 3, 1945, in Pelletier, Saint Louis du Nord, Haiti to Anocius Joasil and Francoise Anne Canois. This baby girl, Maitild Joisil, became affectionately known as Matoude, Toude, and Tild to her family and friends. She was her parents’ third child. She had an extremely strong bond with her siblings Arnold (deceased), Flora (deceased), and Jeannot (deceased). She was also very close to her cousins, family and friends. Matoude learned to have a deep relationship with the Lord at a very young age. This love and passion for Christ became her career. Around 1969 Matoude began working at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Guichard. She was responsible for the management and day to day operation of the church. She provided many individuals the opportunity to be employed at the church during her tenure. She also oversaw various groups within the church, to include the Legion of Mary. She fell in love with Leonard Timothee and they became parents to her first child Leonie (Decimus) Timothee. She nicknamed her baby girl Nanoune. The two were nearly inseparable. In 1980, three months after Nanoune travelled to the United States to live with her father, Matoude made the tough decision to embark the rough oceans to reunite with her daughter. Upon arriving in the United States, Toude began studying at Lindsey Hopkins and also began working as a Seamstress and a Housekeeper. Within two years in the U.S. she acquired an apartment for her and her daughter. During this time, she also found her niche working as a salesperson at Sonia’s Ladieswear in Downtown Miami. She built a strong and lasting relationship with those she worked with and served. It was during an evening of heading home from Sonia’s Matoude encountered Boileau Jean who became enamored with her. They married and became the proud parents of a handsome baby boy, Mike Jean. She doted on Mike. Maitild provided everything her kids needed to become the individuals they are today. Exercised unconditional love. Matoude joined her daughter in becoming a member of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Miami, Florida. She was a faithful parishioner. She was a member of La Sante Famille and the Cathedral of Catholic Women. She visited homes of residents near the church. She assisted with the food pantry. She was a daily presence at the Cathedral. Matoude lived for her children and made sure that they had a want for nothing. She also made sure to raise them in the house of the Lord. Upon the closure of Sonia’s and now also a single parent, Matoude worked in various industries, Miami Dade County Public Schools and in the Hospitality Industry. Upon her retirement, Toude began diligently caring for her elderly neighbor Essie Mae Lee. She also cared for others until she was diagnosed with living with cancer in December of 2020. She fought a courageous fight, with no complaint and only praises to God. She continued to pray for all, and provided words of encouragement, strength, and life lessons to all she encountered.
